DP has really upset me (sex)

206 replies

Owleyes16 · 14/03/2020 17:37

NC for this because I'm kind of embarrassed and confused.

Some background: I'm 24 and DP is 30, we've been together for 5 years, lived together for 3, and he's the only person I've ever been with, my first everything. We're generally great, best friends, love each other more all the time, never had any major issues. Sex life is normally great.

We've been TTC 6 months now so this has started to take its toll on me mentally, the last 2 weeks I've been very anxious and upset but I have improved over the last few days and looking forward to trying again. However because of how I have been feeling, and life getting in the way, we haven't had sex for 3 weeks.

Today was going to be the day we got back to it, I started running my bath and we were kind of playing around, and kissing, cuddling, etc. I told him I wanted to wait until after my bath to have sex because I didn't feel clean. Bath finished, I get naked ready to get in and we get a bit carried away, he especially is very excited. Anyway, we end up start having sex and he says "oh you really do smell" and I remind him I did say I wanted my bath first. Annoying, but continue, he didn't say it in a nasty way just matter of fact, and to be fair I did. Then he said a few times about how "wide" and "loose" I am and kept commenting on that and how wet I was. I got really self conscious and stopped, I didn't really know what he meant by that but I just felt awful, it's not a nice thing to say, and I told him that, he apologies, I get in the bath.

Then some time later he comes in with a face on him and tells me that he's sorry for upsetting me, but I have to understand that "as a guy, when you're wide it makes me think that you haven't been faithful". You don't have to tell me how gross that is, in so many ways. I told him how upset I was and how stupid he is, he apologises more, and we've barely spoke since.

He came in the front room a while ago to ask me what was wrong, and upon finding I'm clearly still upset, he said that he can't say sorry anymore than he has and he can't cope with the tension, etc. And I just said yes I know you can't do anything about it now, but it doesn't mean I can't still be upset, that I feel disrespected and insulted. He stormed back off to the bedroom and I haven't heard him since.

I really don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to feel. This is the first time in our relationship I've felt like this, just like he doesn't respect me and won't take responsibility for what he's said, sorry just doesn't feel good enough. I know he's going to try to pretend as though nothing has happened soon, come in and cuddle me and I'll have to forget about it and get on with it, but I don't know if I can let it go. He's accused me of cheating on him, has shown his ignorance re female anatomy, has insulted my biology, made me feel self conscious, etc.

Am I overreacting? How can we move forward from this? Sorry this was so long, I didn't want to drip feed.

You need to end this relationship. Do not have children with this man.

GilchristQ · 14/03/2020 17:40

He was telling you how wide and loose you were while you were having sex?

He thinks if a woman has sex with another man she becomes wide and loose?

GilchristQ · 14/03/2020 17:41

Pressed send too soon.

Op, fuck that. That is awful. He is paranoid your cheating and had digs about your body, to back up his paranoia whilst you were having sex?

Why has he all of a sudden got the idea you are cheating?

Theworldisfullofgs · 14/03/2020 17:41

I agree.

Absolutely do not have children with him.
This is gas lighting. You do not want to be with someone like this.

MozzchopsThirty · 14/03/2020 17:41

What a dick!

Is he normally so immature and bizarre (saying you're 'wide' and it's a sign of infidelity 🤔 WTAF

I'd cut my losses and find another partner

LouLouLoo · 14/03/2020 17:41

I would put the ttc plans on hold. I’m not sure I could get past the nastiness and also the thoughts behind it.

CoffeeRunner · 14/03/2020 17:42

Please stop trying to conceive with this poor excuse for a man.

tiredanddangerous · 14/03/2020 17:42

He’s a nasty bastard, isn’t he? Do you really want to have a baby with him and commit to being tied to him for the rest of your life?

Windyatthebeach · 14/03/2020 17:42

Quick response should have been - has your penis shrunk dear?
Ltb op. Criticising like that is disgusting imo.
Imagine him commenting on your pregnant figure?

ADreamOfGood · 14/03/2020 17:43

Stop TTC immediately! What an absolute wanker he is. Do not procreate with him.
He is going to turn hugely controlling from the conversation you've detailed here.

Verily1 · 14/03/2020 17:43

Please don’t get pregnant by him your life will be ruined.

SummerHouse · 14/03/2020 17:44

He has really crossed a line here in multiple ways. You are rightly angry and it's on him to let you be angry and work out how he can regain your trust. Arsehole.

Krazynights34 · 14/03/2020 17:44

That’s disgusting behaviour.
As stargirl says to NOT have children with him, you would be miserable.
He is acting like a petulant child and anyone who accuses someone of cheating for no reason is usually doing it, or intending to, themselves.

Honestly I’m a cheeky moo and I’d be saying it’s not me that’s wide it’s you that’s small!

WickedlyPetite · 14/03/2020 17:46

He sounds like an absolute pig.

Don't have children with him.

OneFootintheRave · 14/03/2020 17:47

That's a really sly, undermining and misogynist comment. If you think back, I bet he has made similar. Don't have kids with this man. There are good men out there. He's not one of them. You were only 19 when you met, get out there and meet some more.

PegasusReturns · 14/03/2020 17:47

That’s terrible.

Even if he thought that - and he doesn’t - a decent man would never say that.

He’s not a decent man.

Summersunandoranges · 14/03/2020 17:48

My ex said this to me many years ago, questioned if I’d been with another man whilst I visiting my granny. As if I’d been with a man what was sooo fucking big he had destroyed my muscles in my vagina.

He was also an immature twat too.

Don’t think you have to stay with man because he is your first love. He was just the starter. Your main course is out there waiting for you.

Zhuleva · 14/03/2020 17:48

Tell him you’re not ‘wide and loose’, he just has a tiny, unsatisfying penis. Bet he’ll quit the anatomy critique pretty sharpish.

CatTangle · 14/03/2020 17:49

LTB

Runkle · 14/03/2020 17:49

My first boyfriend (and first everything) used to comment all the time that he doubted I was inexperienced because of how wet I used to get. It made me feel awful and I stupidly pleaded with him to believe me. Safe to say he's an ex.

Peanutbutteryogurt · 14/03/2020 17:51

That's disgusting. It's also absolutely immature and a ridiculous idea. If at 30 he doesn't know how a vagina works I would really reconsider having children with him.

And, sorry to be crude, but if he's saying things like that now what will he be saying once you've given birth and down there has really changed.

CuppaZa · 14/03/2020 17:53

Big flashing red flags there OP. It WILL get worse if you have children with him. He will turn you into a quivering she’ll of a person

LizzieSiddal · 14/03/2020 17:53

Does he really think you’d want to have sex with him every again after saying that?

Has he ever down anything like this before?

Aquamarine1029 · 14/03/2020 17:53

Run for your life. Don't waste another second of your youth on him.

diddl · 14/03/2020 17:54

Good grief.

There really are no words.

He's utterly repulsive.
